eric sprado Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Thanks to all of you for prayers, good thoughts(ala Frank Turley,our moms sound similar!),emails,and even a few cards!!! I have had contact with a few folks here but have waited until it seemed pretty safe to say I'm on the mend to make an "official" announcement. I had a heart attack out here an hour and a quarter from hospital. Wound up with triple bypass surgery and NO damage to my heart!! Following doctors orders because I DON'T want to go back for seconds. One side effect is that they damaged the nerves controlling my left hand so fiddle playing(most important thing) writing, or swinging a hammer are out for a while. They say maybe up to a year,but I still feel blessed!!!!!!!! It has always been my wont to be a good son, husband,father and to do no unkindness to my fellow human beings or to the Earth. I have not,being human, always been successful. I feel blessed to be given a second chance to dedicate myself more to this Worlds needs! Thanks again to all of you!!!!!

David Gaddis Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Since I had an Abdominal Aorta Aneurizm 6 months ago ...in two days...I too am blessed to have a re-start. Powers above are allowing me to continue now onto a better path. Helping others is more highly positioned in my agenda, now too. Glad you are on the mends. Carry on...but at a slower pace..

Rich Hale Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Thank you for the update Eric...And thank your wife to her letting us know when it occured. This has become qujite a community,,,Information about wot you have been through gives ujs insight. May even be reason for us to look closer at how we are really doing. I had some issues a few years ago...I lost memory of how to form a chord on guitar and almost all of the songs I knew...The chords came back in a short time.. the songs trickled in..our systems are truly amazing! I travel your way every several years,,Hope we can play a bit next time I do....See ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
